local reasonable drivleine shops

[slickrock]

Looks like I am going to have to have at least a rear driveline made for my Dana 18. the bolt pattern is different and narrower than the cruiser driveline bolt pattern. I am on a BUDGET. Anyone know a driveline shop that ins't going to brake the bank? If I do both, 150-200 is about max and I don't need to balance the front DL only the rear.

Fresno driveline is your best bet, but I dont see any good shop doing 2 drivelines for $150-$200.

They did both of mine for $100 bucks a couple years ago.

The only problem is that they are going to need to change Flanges and yokes. Do you already have the correct yokes. That is what costs the money.

SlickRock..I think you need your own Odds and Ends section for all these things you are looking for...Your threads are piling up like the order column of a catalog.

I have the front one already and I will pick up the rear yoke on pirate to save some cash.

Thanks Cacy for the location. That is more my priceline. Only problem with building front shaft is that the jeeps only had a bar type drivline, not a tube so it is going to be hard to connect a 1.25" bar to the round tube of the front FJ drivline. May need to find a lathe to get it centered true..

Real easy on the front, make a quare out of receiver tubing. You will never break that

Yeah. I'll post a pic when I get back home this weekend of what I have to work with. See if I can get some help figuring out how to weld it up.

Here is a link to the Yoke I have to work with for the front axle. Any ideas would be appreceited.
